Automotive Safety Sensing

Seat Belt Reminder (SBR)

The Seat Belt Reminder (SBR) sensor mat detects occupants in passenger and rear seats. A seat belt reminder system in the vehicle triggers a warning light and/or an audible chime reminding unbuckled seat occupants to fasten their seat belts.
In the event of a crash, safety belts reduce the risk of fatal injury to front seat occupants by 45% in cars and by 60% in light trucks. Considering 80% of unbuckled occupants fasten their seat belts thanks to an SBR, it is one of the most effective ways of preventing death or injury in a car crash.
